Charger

If you want to succeed in SPL, quit your box plotter. It won't help you get big numbers. You can use it to get your basic dimensions and specs but the real numbers will come from spending the big hours in the workshop

Nah more like 4000w, if you're lucky on 12v

Woah, speechless, pure awesomeness!

I had my 9915 in a ported box approx 3.2 cubes after displacement. It slammed! 147.2dB in my station wagon at 40hz! Small is good despite what people say..

Double post > me

My guess is that there isn't enough clearance between the tailgate and the rear of the box to do rear firing ports. Still a damn impressive score for 10s!

Any more potatoes?

Love the Tahoe, wish we could get cars like that over here. Congrats on the numbers too.

The music it's playing

Holy shit! -12dB @ 100hz that will sound like arse! What are the specs of this?

Yeah Jesus Christ I said I drew a Wicked One, which is the name of the enclosure, I wouldn't pawn it off as mine, there's much better enclosures out there anyway. And it actually WAS for a school project. It's great to see a 3D model of what you're building. If you're a little cluey you can also use that to generate your cut list. I used it for my coffee table for home theatre, with two Kicker Comp VR 10s. Here's a pic of the rendered image: And here's the (almost) finished product. Still need to get off my arse to finish it, it's still in damn primer! Top off: CVR 10" And finally, with the Jarrah Top on: Again, sorry for Hijacking the thread!

I'd try to keep the ports away from the corner of the enclosure. Here's a Wicked One I drew in AutoCad 2004.. Sorry to hijack thread

Yeah, that don't look like Dynamat to me... Take that back for sure!

No, that is completely untrue. Some of the hardest hitting systems use ported enclosure. Steve's Tahoe for example. My 9915 slams really hard and still retains fairly accurate SQ. So I call my car an SQ car to make up for the lack of SPL..

Yeah that is quite small indeed. I've tried many variations on my 9915: 11" x 11" 11" x 5.5" 11" x 7" and 12" x 13.5" Right now I'm using 11" x 7" and I think it's the sweet area, for my enclosure anyhow. Tuned to 40hz or so.

Your house looks great, it's quite the transformation! It's funny because over here 95% of our houses are made of brick. Very few are made of wood. Is brick very common over there?

How much port area do you have?

The Jeezy one? It's called 'Hypnotize'.

PS: The diagram you drew was for a .5ohm load.

Ok mate. Wire both sub's voice coils in parallel like this: Now each sub represents a single 1 ohm load. Now, your amp has a pair of output terminals, it is still a monoblock. That pair is actually wired in parallel anyway so it makes no difference really. Just wire each sub to a corresponding + and - (One per terminal if you will). Viola! you now have an amp seeing a .5ohm load. Be careful with how many speaker cables you have coming out of your enclosure, you may get bumped up a class due to the conductor rule. Cheers

I suggest you learn some respect and just turn the damn thing down at traffic lights. Nobody wants to hear your music blasting away right next to them. You say people should learn to respect nice systems, but judging by your avatar, yours isn't anything really that special anyway. I never blast my system at the lights, nor do I listen to it at night or in residential areas (145+ daily driver)

Nice spy pics

E-40 would have to be one of my favorite rappers.How young are your sons through?

I'm Mike from way over in Australia.Found the link to Steve's site through his Termpro sig. I currently have a 1987 Nissan Truck for my audio car. I am running four Pioneer 12" woofers in a 9ft3 enclosure. MY best score is 147.8dB on music. My other car is a 1972 Valiant Charger which I only drive on sunny weekends! I'm 17 and been into the Car Audio scene for about four years now and enjoying it!Looking forward to chatting top you guys in the future.Mike.
